This reseacrh aims to explain the emergence of the language of a community that can be
said to be unique and creative, i.e. the secret language that has been used by Arab
women in Solo City, Central Java, Indonesia, since three decades ago and is still used
today. This secret language does not give priority to the meaning process, but only to the
speech inserted by the letter ‘F’ so that if spoken it is difficult to be understood by people
who do not understand the use of this language. Bourdieu's linguistic habitus theory is
used as a conceptual framework. The research method is qualitative with sociolinguistic
approach. The data was collected based on participant observation, interviews and
documentation. The results showed that the intention of Arab women in the Solo in using
secret language between the old generation and the current generation is different. The
older generation used the secret language primarily as a form of resistance and selfexpression
of the strong secular tradition of their era. The current generation uses secret
the language as a form of group existence, for the strengthening of identity and business
interests. However, the purpose of using this secret language by all generations has the same goal, that is, for certain conversations that they do not want understood by others
around them.
